Ammo Cache Found at Shooting Site

An attache case found near the bodies of a University of Arkansas professor and a graduate student killed in an apparent murder-suicide held 90 rounds of ammunition and a letter telling the student he had been kicked out of the graduate program. The student, James Easton Kelly, 36, and English professor John Locke, 67, were found dead Monday, lying face-up on the floor of Locke’s office at the university in Fayetteville. Both had been shot in the abdomen with a .38-caliber revolver that Kelly bought five years ago, university police said. A panel of six professors, with Locke abstaining, voted Aug. 21 to dismiss Kelly from the program because he habitually dropped classes and made insufficient progress in 10 years as a graduate student.
